Re: ammonia smell during casing pasteurization [Re: dukeh98]

So I'm having the same issue with the strong ammonia smell. Mine was not from the casing tho, it was in the substrate. When I took the lids off to add my casing layer is when I noticed it. 1 of the trays had this clear, rubbery like overlay and ridiculously strong ammonia smell. It stunk the whole house up. I couldnt see any visible contam tho and the myc underneath the overlay looked healthy. The other 3 trays were fine so I went ahead and cased all 4 to see what would happen. Day 5 of fruiting and no pins on any of them yet. The ammonia smell is still there but not nearly as bad.

Even tho it wasnt coming from the casing, I wanted to add my peat is unfortified. Sub is a mix of straw, horse manure, gypsum and verm that I sterilized at 15 PSI for 2 hours. Not sure where I went wrong but assuming something in the sub mix didnt die during sterilization. Nobody in the pan cyan FB group had any answers for me 🤷♀️

Horse manure has a ton of ammonium if it isn't aged.  Aging allows nitrifying bacteria to the NH4 down into NO2 and then other bacteria break it down to NO3, if I'm remembering my aquarium hobby stuff correctly.

But basically fresh horse manure contains NH4 which is toxic to living things.
